I can read the text, but I don't know the meaning of some Panjabi words. So annoying. :sad:

Nice one. Thanks for the link.

Here's another good one, but be warned it is painfully slow. The fuzzy option helps find difficult words.

It's interesting to note that whilst some people think that Hanuman Natak was composed by dasmesh pita himself, from what I can gather from the introduction of this book, it was actually the creation of the darbari poet "Kankan kavi" and others?

Does anyone have a full text of this work?

Frustratingly the online version seems to end abruptly in the middle of describing the original Vasakhi.

The Hanuman Natak was written by a Hirda Ram, in who's possession it was in, during his stay alongside 6th Guru in Gwalior. When Guru Ji had all the prisone4rs released, the Granth was given to Guru Ji as a present. It stayed in Guru's possession upto the 10th Guru, by which time, some of the pages, I think form the front had witheres and torn, and Guru ji gave a kavi, the task of reproducing the missing pages in his own words, but in a style that was not alien to the rest of the text.

I cannot remember the name, but may be it was Kavi Kankan.
